Support After Abortion with Guest Lisa Rowe

What happens after a woman has an abortion? What resources are available after that grievous choice? These are the questions that Lisa Rowe, founder and CEO of the Support After Abortion ministry, is trying to answer. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Lisa, a licensed social worker, who works directly with women experiencing this tremendous loss and pain, shares that women consider abortion to be the best option after enduring other preliminary traumas. She says that post-abortive women grapple with regret, anger, grief, and anxiety. Through the network of counselors available at Support After Abortion, women learn the difference between guilt which says, “I did bad,” and shame which says, “I am bad.”
